White House Flatly Rejects Amnesty Deal Proposed by John Mccain

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley said Monday that a new bipartisan immigration deal put together by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was worse than the Graham-Durbin proposal President Trump rejected weeks ago.

“I have to give it to Senator Coons and McCain, congratulations, because it takes a special kind of person to write a bill that is worse than Graham-Durbin. They did it,” Gidley said, calling the McCain proposal “incredible.”

Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Chris Coons, D-Del., put forward a bill Monday that would grant amnesty in the form of permanent legal status to so-called “dreamers,” but would not authorize spending for a border wall. The McCain-Coons plan would grant amnesty to any “dreamer” who has been in the United States since 2013, a “larger pool of undocumented immigrants than the 1.8 million Trump supports legalizing,” the Washington Post reports.

President Trump previously rejected a DACA compromise proposal by Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. that likewise did not fund a wall. The president tweeted Monday that “any deal on DACA that does not include STRONG border security and the desperately needed WALL is total waste of time.”

“You have to have a border wall and a security package, the president has been very clear about this. You have to end chain migration. You have to end the visa lottery. Absolutely the president wants to fix DACA, but let’s be clear, not having a border wall is the same thing as Sen. McCain going to bed at night and locking his front door but leaving all the windows open.”

“In order to protect the American people, you have to have a wall at the border,” Gidley said. “Everyone in America sees this, and for some reason these bipartisan bills keep coming forward that don’t address the problem.”

“We can’t be in the same situation five years from now that we’re in today. The president won’t let that happen.” (For more from the author of “White House Flatly Rejects Amnesty Deal Proposed by John Mccain” please click HERE)

Kaepernick’s New Kick: Money for Cop-Killers

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick said he has raised $20,000 for a group named for convicted cop-killer Assata Shakur, who remains on the FBI’s most-wanted list with a $1 million reward for information leading to her arrest.

Coincidentally, Kaepernick, known for launching the anthem protests in the NFL against alleged racially motivated abuse of African-Americans by police officers, has achieved his goal of raising $1 million for organizations “working in oppressed communities.”

He announced Friday $10,000 donations to the group Assata’s Daughters from both comedian Hannibal Buress and actress Yara Shahidi for his Million Dollar Pledge campaign, the Washington Times reported.

Assata’s Daughters, which describes itself as an arm of Black Lives Matter, says it “carries on the tradition of radical liberatory activism encompassed by Assata Shakur.” The group has called for shutting down police departments and prisons.

As WND reported, Shakur, formerly known as Joanne Chesimard, is a former Black Panther and member of the Black Liberation Army. She escaped a U.S. prison and fled to Cuba after shooting and killing New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster execution style with his own gun during a traffic stop in 1973. As Foerster lay on the ground wounded, she picked up the officer’s gun and shot him twice in the head. (Read more from “Kaepernick’s New Kick: Money for Cop-Killers” HERE)

Actress Jokes About Eating Unborn Babies

/0 Comments/in , /by

At a telethon to raise money for abortions, Hollywood actress and comedian Sarah Silverman declared that laws banning the use of aborted fetuses in food products “would make me want to eat an aborted fetus.”

The show referenced an Oklahoma bill that was proposed after a food lab reportedly sought to use stem cells in its artificial flavorings.

“It’s this bananas law that makes you think that eating fetuses is a thing, and it’s not,” Silverman said during the Feb. 1 event called “Life Is a Living Nightmare: A Telethon to Fix It.”

Silverman, who spoke at the 2016 Democratic National Convention in support of Hillary Clinton, added: “If anything has ever made me want to eat an aborted fetus, it’s this law.”

The expletive-riddled telethon was hosted by the Lady Parts Justice League, a feminist organization founded by “The Daily Show” co-creator Lizz Winstead, who hosted the event with Silverman. (Read more from “Actress Jokes About Eating Unborn Babies” HERE)

Public Schools Will Now Allow Students to Choose Whatever Gender or Race They Want

/0 Comments/in , /by

Delaware is considering adopting a policy that will let young students in school choose whatever name, gender, or race they want under a veil of school protection mandating that the parents not be informed of these decisions unless the student explicitly wishes the parent be included.

Drafted by Delaware Gov. John Carney, the anti-discrimination policy states that children from K-12 can choose their own name, identify with whatever race or gender they feel most comfortable with, and even access hormone blockers necessary to transition without the consent of their parents.

Regulation 225, known as “Prohibition Of Discrimination,” also indicates that students will be able to join any sports team they choose and can use bathrooms and showers according to their chosen identity.

Many parents have become outraged over this proposed policy, charging that it violates their right as parents to care for their children without government intrusion.

“As a parent I have fundamental rights to the care, custody, control, upbringing and information regarding my child,” concerned parent Kay Fox said, as noted by WBOC.

Critics of the policy also worry that it puts the privacy and safety of all students at risk, given that it will allow students to claim a certain gender so that they can access the locker rooms, showers, restrooms, and overnight quarters of the opposite sex.

“It opens Pandora’s Box,” Rep. Rich Collins, said, according to Delaware State News. “It has the potential to twist schools up in knots.”

Proponents of the policy, however, see it as a necessarily thorough measure that will protect transgenders and minorities from discrimination.

“The comprehensive nature of the protective characteristics makes it a really good regulation. It’s very broad in terms of the groups of students it protects,” Mark Purpura, a member of the policy development team, told WBOC.

However, Purpura did admit, that the over 11,000 public comments submitted to Delaware’s Department of Education (DOE) regarding the policy have almost all been negative.

The state’s DOE is expected to make a decision on whether to revise the draft of the policy or to implement it as is in the coming months and will develop a school curriculum to introduce the policy given the latter.

The District of Columbia Public Schools also issued guidance in 2016 indicating that students who feel they are transgender can elect to have their parents participate in the transition process, but that they don’t have to tell their parents about their transition if they don’t wish to.

A similar set of guidelines from Chicago Public Schools instructs staff not to tell parents about their child’s gender transition without the child’s permission.

Policy guidance from the Massachusetts Department of Education also instructs school personnel to speak with the student first before discussing a student’s gender nonconformity or transgender status with the student’s parent or guardian.

The Oregon Department of Education also issued similar policy guidelines.

New Law Will No Longer Allow Babies Born During Botched Abortions to Be Killed

/0 Comments/in , /by

The majority of debate between pro-lifers and abortion advocates has centered around the 20-week abortion ban that failed in the Senate Monday. Another important bill, however, recently passed the U.S. House and would prevent babies who’ve been born after botched abortions from being murdered shortly thereafter.

The U.S. House approved the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act in January, and it requires health care practitioners to give the same care to a child born alive after a botched abortion as they would provide to any other child birthed at the same gestational age.

They must also ensure that babies born after botched abortions are immediately admitted to a hospital.

Any health care individual who violates the provisions of the bill — H. R. 37 — will face fines and up to five years in prison.

The mother of a child who is aborted after being born cannot be prosecuted under the bill. She can, however, sue for damages against an individual who kills a living child who’s just been born.

“I survived my birth mother’s saline infusion abortion 40 years ago at St. Luke’s Hospital in Sioux City, Iowa,” Melissa Ohden told the Daily Signal, explaining her strong support of the bill which will protect future babies like her. She said that although the abortion doctor demanded that the nurse leave her there to die, the on-duty nurse made the decision to rush Ohden to the NICU where her life was saved.

“Planned Parenthood likes to say Born Alive legislation is anti-abortion. In reality, it doesn’t even address abortion and, instead, focuses on halting infanticide,” March for Life VP of Government Affairs, Tom McClusky, told The Daily Caller News Foundation Friday. “If Democrats in either chamber ever want to regain the majority they first will have to separate themselves from their pro-death comrades such as Planned Parenthood, who insist they buck the consensus and vote for infanticide.”

Nevada’s Democratic representatives, Dina Titus, Jacky Rosen and Ruben Kihuen, all voted against the bill but did not offer an explanation for their votes. None of the representatives responded to TheDCNF’s request for comment.

The bill comes after a 2016 congressional investigation found evidence and continues to investigate clinics illegally performing partial-birth and post-birth abortions, as well as the illegal sale of body parts for profit. The investigation included testimony from an employee who also posited that an abortionist would perform roughly 40 abortions on unborn babies past 20 weeks gestation during a normal week according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Abortion methods included smashing unborn baby’s necks with forceps, cutting the neck with scissors, twisting the head until snaps, crushing the “soft spot” on the baby’s skull, or pushing on the infant’s abdomen or throat until it dies, the Review-Journal reported.

The bill follows the activities of abortionists like Kermit Gosnell, who was sentenced to life in prison after authorities discovered that he’d been aborting babies after they’d been born.

Gosnell, who operated the Women’s Medical Society in West Philadelphia starting in 1979, wasn’t investigated until February 2010 when the FBI and the Pennsylvania Department of Health raided his clinic on drug charges.

His license was suspended shortly thereafter and his trial began in March 2013, according to the Washington Post.

Gosnell aborted babies after the legal limit of 24 weeks gestation in what became known as the “House of Horrors.”

He was also responsible for the death of 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar who died of a drug overdose during her abortion. The jury found Gosnell guilty on three of four charges of murder of babies born in his clinic as well as guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act will head next to the Senate for a vote before it can become law, and will ensure that no more doctors like Gosnell will be able to fly under the radar while committing egregious acts against newborn babies.

Democrat Cave? Senator Signals an Unconditional Surrender on Immigration Deal

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Wire. Senior Senate Democrat Dick Durbin (IL) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that legislators are unlikely to reach a deal on the Delayed Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) before the president’s March deadline, but that Democrats will not force a second government shutdown over the impasse.

“There is not likely to be a DACA deal, though we’re working every single day on telephone calls and person-to-person to try to reach this bipartisan agreement,” Durbin told host Jake Tapper. “I don’t see a government shutdown coming.”

This leaves Democrats with few options — and no leverage — going into the final weeks of negotiations over an immigration deal that they were, by all accounts, poised to ink with the president. But earlier in January, the deal broke down, reportedly over an included stipulation that would have given indefinite amnesty to parents of DACA recipients even though those parents knowingly violated U.S. immigration law.

When Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) realized he’d lost Republican cooperation, he ordered his colleagues to filibuster a continuing resolution on the budget, sending the government into a three day shutdown. But having lost the media, and activists in both the middle and on the far left, Schumer caved to the president’s shutdown deal and ordered his colleagues to negotiate on the budget and on immigration separately.

Fractured GOP Struggles with Immigration Strategy

By The Hill. Republicans are barreling toward a fight over immigration despite divisions on what the party’s strategy should be.

GOP lawmakers decamped Friday from a retreat in West Virginia meant to tout unity around their 2018 agenda without finding a consensus on what to do about recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

The political cacophony comes as the Senate is expected to turn to a debate as soon as this week on the fate of the Obama-era program, which allows certain immigrants brought into the country illegally as children to work and go to school in the U.S. . . .

A growing number of Senate Republicans are backing a scaled-back plan that would include only a DACA fix and a border security package — though the details of such an agreement would still need to be sketched out. (Read more from “Fractured GOP Struggles with Immigration Strategy” HERE)

Man Carrying Concealed Saves Police Officer

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Utah police officer who was being attacked on Friday was saved by a passerby with a concealed pistol, officials said.

The unidentified police officer confronted the attacker, identified as Paul Douglas Anderson, after spotting feet dangling from a donation bin in Springville, FOX13 Salt Lake City reported on Saturday. Anderson got out of the bin, but refused to remove his hands from his pocket . . .

Derek Meyer told FOX13 he was driving by the area when he spotted the police lights and saw Anderson attacking the cop. Meyer turned around and pulled out his pistol.

“I carry a gun to protect me and those around me, but primarily I carry a gun to protect my family first and foremost,” Meyer, who has a concealed-carry permit, told FOX13. “Outside of that, if I were to use my gun to protect anyone it would be law enforcement or military personnel.”

Meyer aimed the pistol at Anderson and yelled at him to stop attacking the officer. Anderson bolted from the scene as responding officers arrived. The attacker, who was found hiding under a flatbed trailer, was arrested and faces several charges, according to FOX13. (Read more from “Man Carrying Concealed Saves Police Officer” HERE)

Pastor Accused in ‘Sexual Healing’ Lawsuit

/0 Comments/in , /by

A young San Diego woman is suing her former pastor, alleging he duped her into having sex in the guise of “sexual healing” therapy, while he alleges in his own lawsuit that she made private, graphic communications between them public as revenge when he ended their consensual relationship.

The two lawsuits were filed Jan. 16 in San Diego Superior Court, with both acknowledging their sexual relationship lasted about a year, from the fall of 2016 until October 2017.

Amy McClanahan and John Wright filed their separate suits anonymously, using only their initials as plaintiffs, but they each gave the other’s full name as defendants . . .

Her lawsuit alleges sexual battery, rape, gender violence and sexual harassment, as well as negligent supervision of Wright, who was then a pastor of the English-language congregation at Mid-City Church of the Nazarene, which is also named in the lawsuit.

DNC Reportedly Dead Broke

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Democratic National Committee had a rough 2017, plagued by leadership troubles, internal squabbling, and unflattering reports. To top it off, the party ended the year “dead broke,” says The Intercept’s Ryan Grim.

The Democratic Party is carrying more than $6 million in debt, according to year-end filings — and has just $6.5 million in the bank. Do the math, and the party is working with just over $400,000 overall. Meanwhile, the Republicans are swimming in pools of money. The Republican National Committee had raised $132 million by the end of 2017 — about twice as much as the DNC — and entered 2018 with almost $40 million to spare, with not a penny of debt.
